Re: Query- Riding on the Tail of the Devil
OK, here's another draft. Just to clear something up. While my protagonist starts at thirteen, this is not a YA fantasy. There are too many extremely violent scenes and then there's the foul language of the street. I honestly can't see any way for it to be even considered YA. Lots of YA is violent ...

Re: To bury or to resurrect? That is the question.
Personally, I am not a fan of pulling punches unless they amount to so much wankery.
Meaning if it is important to the plot and it has a point, keep it regardless of whether someone might be offended or turned off.

Re: How do you get yourself to write?
I think it is very important to cultivate the ability to write anywhere, with the tools you have at hand. Whether you want to isn't the issue. It is like jumping in to cold water. The more you think about it, the less likely you are to do it. There's no advice beyond patch together that first senten...

Re: Too Much Going ON (a song by Marvin Gaye)
Perhaps you are entering the Tunnel of Broken Perceptions. By that I mean the frustrating state many of us experience where we have lost all perspective on what works and what does not. When you spend too much time along with imaginary people, it can become impossible to look at your words with an o...

Re: Grey or Gray
It is my understanding that "grey" is a color whereas "gray" is often a surname of British Isles origin.

Re: Not even a partial
My only advice is don't give up until you get one hundred rejections, at least.
